Do not use a diuretic (a drug/chemical), that will leach out potassium. The same is true of all, psychological meds, as well as diabetic medications. i.e.
Just get a good potassium pill (750mg) and don't lie down after taking this amount of dosage. You will urine a lots for about 4 hours so plan your day accordingly or, try this herb:
( Dandelion Root is a rich treasury of vitamins and minerals, as well as trace minerals and micronutrients. It also contains numerous medicinal components, but one that draws particular attention lately is a substance called inulin, which may be an important ingredient in managing diabetes. Even the bitter flavor of the Dandelion Coffee is good for you as it helps to stimulate the entire digestive system, from the appetite all the way to the better absorption of nutrients. Truly there is a fine line between food and medicine with this precious herb!
Liver formula (you could use the vinegar instead of making this recipe into wine) Vinegar and wine are closely related; the vinegar is already fermented, start from there with the recipe (semi homemade). However, vinegar will not store as long. This is probably why the Mormon Pioneers made up this recipe. You always have to clean the liver in any disease-flu i.e. so it had to last all winter. Cooking would have ruin the properties. This is a pioneer recipe and I have adapted it slightly. (Adult Dosages is 5 drops or more if pounds (weight) calls for more)
Ingredients
4 quarts Dandelion blossoms (no green root or, stems)
3 oranges (vit c)
1 lemon (vit c)
4-pound sugar
1 yeast cake or pkg (or, vinegar?)
Put the blossoms in a crock and pour 4 quarts of boiling water over them. Let stand for 3 days. Pare outer peeling of oranges and lemon. Use only the colored part of the peal (no white) Three days after the liquid has been on the dandelion blossom drain into a large kettle and add the peelings and juice of oranges and lemon. Boil 15 minutes. Strain into crock and add 4 pounds of sugar. Stir.
When liquid is lukewarm add yeast. Keep in a warm room and let work for 3 weeks. Bottle or seal in quart jars. Should be clear and ready for use in about 4 months. When pouring the wine be careful not to disturb the sediments. Take by tablespoons as medicine to clean the liver in the spring and store for winter. Store in brown medical bottles-jars found on line ,or in health food store.
